Treating the Federal Communications Commission like his own personal enforcer, Donald Trump said on social media Sunday that NBC’s Kristen Welker would be “reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment” over a TV segment he didn’t like.
In a separate post, Trump complained in all caps about “fake polls” and said “something must be done about it,” adding, “FCC to the rescue!”
The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee and close ally, did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the matter.
Better candidates and parties would be great however the fact remains, if people don’t vote then they voted for the winner. Fairly simple but there appears to be a cultural issue about choosing only to vote for someone they like rather than not getting someone they hate. If voting is the only tool available for change and people don’t use it……
Be that as it may. We knew we had a losing strategy, and kept to it, because people that suck told us it was the safe choice.
And I’m the asshole for questioning this leadership.
